Football Friday: Peach Cobbler

There's nothing better than visiting the farmers market right now, and seeing all the glorious, ripe, beautiful peaches. Peach season is pretty much the best thing ever: it symbolizes everything tasty and sweet about summer. Maybe that's why Kevin in the Wisconsin Test Kitchen has been asking for peach cobbler.

We finally had time on a Friday night to make a pan of it; and it didn't disappoint. This is the perfect dessert to whip up on game day for your hungry friends with a sweet tooth: it's easy to prepare and will feed a crowd. We used fresh peaches but if you're in a hurry; canned ones will work as well.
